(Hugh of Flavigny) New Catholic encyclopedia (Hugh of Flavigny; Benedictine monk and historian; b. about 1064, probably at Verdun (Lorraine); d. before the middle of the twelfth century; received his education at the monastery of St-Vannes at Verdun, where he afterwards took the habit of a Benedictine novice; in 1096 Hugh was elected Abbot of Flavigny but later abdicated due to disputes with his Bishop and his own monks; he wrote a chronicle of the world's history from the birth of Christ down to his own times (Chronicon Virdunense seu Flaviniacense) in two books: the first, which extends to the year 1002, a loosely planned compilation whose importance is entirely due to the fragments of older lost works which it contains; the second covers the years from 1002 to 1112 and is valuable especially for the history of Lorraine, and also for the ecclesiastical history of France) Studien zu Hugo von Flavigny, 2010.
